A Brief Movie Update...

The casting agent who called me said, "the other casting agency was thrilled about [your qualifications]. I also took a look at the pictures that you sent in and they're fantastic. They commented positively on that too."

So, I have a meeting on Monday at 11:30am with a casting agency for a major motion picture to read for an actual speaking part. The description of the part that was read to me says that I would have two and a half pages of dialogue and at least one scene with the films star. (We don't speak. We pass by each other when he enters my place of business. And I am there when he leaves and then is shot and killed outside.)

Needless to say, my co-workers are flipping out about this. So am I.

Wow.

One more step closer to this actually happening. And I'm walking into a warm room that's already excited to be working with me. They want me to get the part. That's all very exciting.

Jessica, wherever you are, on your lovely honeymoon, I owe you a very nice dinner when you get back. (Jessica submitted me for this part without my even asking her to do so. Before I ever knew that the part was available. Without any paperwork, resumes or headshots from me, she saw the opportunity and took it. And I am so, so grateful to her for doing so. What an extraordinary gesture of kindness. And a clear cut example of "Rising Water Raises All Boats" in practice.)

More details coming, as I get them. I think it's okay to be excited about this. I am.

Cheers,
Mr.B
